Socialist Party of America Releases The Names of 70 Democrats

Obama's mom was a communist?

Very few of the names on that list deserve to have the word "Honorable" associated with them.

Perhaps someone can ask Pingree to confirm or deny her Socialist Party membership, since she's running for re-election. I'd think the voters would wish to know that information, before casting their ballot.

Even if Pingree admits to being a member of the Communist Party caucus, it would only add to ger street creds because the dumb masses who vote for her are of a like mind.

This is not new, been out there for a while. I even called out the PPH on my column about Chellie on Saturday. This has been floating around for about two years.

Never too late to know the truth, Bob... I'd never heard/read this factoid previously.

Nancy had to resign from the caucus when she
became speaker.
Al, this subject was covered on the THE MAINE TALK SHOW
over ten years ago.

well it was new to me and a few friends

Column from Saturday

(Why snip? I own it...)

"But everything comes back to the issue of Chellie, and if the PPH will attempt to bite the hand that feeds it. I find it troubling that to date, not a single mention of Chellie’s two-year involvement with a caucus group called the “Democratic Socialists of America” (DSA) has ever graced the pages of that paper.

Or any other, for that matter."

In his book, Red Army, Aaron Klein lists Pingree as a co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus a couple of years ago.

This thread is a bunch of ultra-right wing completely wacko crap. Doesn't anyone patrol AMG for conspiracy theories? I thought they were discouraged?

The author of this propaganda (Tancredo) is the same lunatic who advocated bombing Mecca because of Muslims taking over the world, that "multiculturalism" is evil (meaning non-whites are evil), that it would be a good idea to reinstitute literacy tests for voting, and so on. He makes tea partiers look like moderates.

Naran:

Please remove me from AMG membership. I don't mind having spirited discussions and disagreements, but I have better things to do with my time than expose myself to this level of ignorance and paranoia.

Thank you.

CV -- you're entirely at liberty to remove yourself. AMG isn't for everyone.

For those who can stand it, here's a link to the Democratic Socialists of America.

Did we mean ol' conservatives chase another delicate leftist away?

He should wait until 2014 as Obamacare will pay for injuries incurred from door hitting posteria

I went to the socialists website and typed "Pingree" on the search window.

Result: "Sorry, no matches were found containing Pingree"

You don't seriously think she'd let them put her name in the database, do you?
:)

Did you try Sussman?

In targeting Tancedo , CV attacks the messenger as a proxy for the message. Google "Socialist Party of America Releases The Names of 70 Democrats" there a 3, 650,00 results. If CV follows this method, he is going to be kept pretty busy writing character assassinations in order to discredit what the Socialist Party of America published on its website. It might be easier for him to try to discredit the direct source instead. And if he thinks this thread is for right winged wacko's why is he upset about identifying socialists? Because they call them selves 'socialists' instead of "progressives"? What exactly is CV's problem with socialists?

Tough crowd.

Now it's back to fighting amongst ourselves.

for the doubters, naysayers, and others who doubt, thinking this is some sort of "attack," I present to you DSA's OWN newsletter, from 2009, where THEY state it as fact.

If you can't prove it, you don't print it, or assert it. Make a copy. Ask Chellie.

Thank you, Bob Higgins. I appreciate the information.

Chellie Pingree and Barney Frank are both on the list, as is Dennis Kucinich. Lots of names of elected officials.

I couldn't find a similar "elected official DSA member" list on the current website. Perhaps the members got so much flack they stopped making it public.

That document is piece of work. The first self description alone is cryptic. Do they string these words together anticipating that they will be analyzed as to what they are intending to say- or just as kind of emotive memes that are there for anyone to read into based on what they wish it to be- kind of like the phrase "Change you can believe in" . I am sure we all have our own idea about what that means and that was the point of that slogan- to present a floating meme that each person would interpret in his own way and to avoid at all costs articulating what those instrumental in putting the phrase out there actually intend.

Here is the first self description of the Socialist Party of America;

an educational and interactive grouping network geared towards peaceful, progressive, and radical works based solely on the US Perspective.

Self description found in first paragraph of the Socialists of America Website

an educational and interactive grouping network geared towards peaceful, progressive, and radical works based solely on the US Perspective.

Decoded

educational = indoctrination

interactive grouping = organization

geared towards peaceful = changing incrementally so as to not be noticed or ruffle feathers.

progressive= continual progress toward the goal

radical works based solely on the US Perspective = fundamentally transform America into a socialist political system based on manipulating that which is distinctly American.

Don't you folks remember when Sanders was outed for running this
scam from his office in Congress.

NO- enlighten us! please.

Holy moley, I feel dirty just knowing he's as close as Vermont to me !

He makes tea partiers look like moderates. "

Got to thinking about CV43's "resignation post"...isn't it interesting that he/she/it/they doesn't offer a rebuttal "(there aren't any socialists in Congress--besides Sanders, of course--" or "this list is a fraud, and here's proof", or "so there are Socialists in Congress--so what?"), but instead attacks the messenger and his listeners. And look at what he holds up a proof of extremism--bombing Mecca (which I suspect is already on the target list if America ever gets hit with an Islamic nuke), opposing multiculturalism--the philosophy that says that all cultures are equally good (Nazi culture? Taliban culture? Islamic cultures that drive bulldozers over gay people? How about the cultures that have forced female genital mutilation--are they "equal", too?) and that white male heterosexual Americans are the source of evil in the known world, and America is to blame for everything; and actually wanting voters to have the ability to read and understand what they're voting for (because illiterate voters apparently are the backbone of the Democratic Party?) The next thing you know, that idiot Tancredo will actually oppose illegal immigration...oh, wait...

I am finding that this list of congressional members of the Socialists of America has been out since 2010.

There was an article published in Canada free Press in 2009 based on what is published by Democratic Socialists of America. In their own words:

Question: “Aren't you a party that's in competition with the Democratic Party for votes and support?

“No, we are not a separate party. Like our friends and allies in the feminist, labor, civil rights, religious, and community organizing movements, many of us have been active in the Democratic Party. We work with those movements to strengthen the party’s left wing, represented by the Congressional Progressive Caucus.”

And Yes Chellie Pingree in included in the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

The article says the the goal is to infiltrate both parties but that the Democrats are much riper for such a take over.

I also find the following very stirking in relationship to what has taken place in Maine over the last several decades with the legislature prolifically creating corporations despite Article IV, Part Third, Section 14 of the Maine State Constitution which prohibits the legislature from chartering corporations for any other reason than for municipal purposes. (There is an exception also for anything that cannot be done another way but it is hard to imaging such a case). Article IV Part Third Section 14 of the Maine State Constitution was added about 25 years after The Communist Manifesto was published. If honored it would have prevented the state of Maine from becoming the Marxist state that it is today- Thanks to both parties.

Consider the willful disregard by the Maine State legislature of Article IV , Part Third, Section 14 of our constitution, along side this quote from the Democrat Socialists of America:

“In the short term we can’t eliminate private corporations, but we can bring them under greater democratic control.”

Maine has gone far down that road but I seem to be the only voice saying the obvious- that the corporations that our state legislature has chartered for any other purpose than municipal purposes are a direct violation of our state constitution. And since they got away with that, we now have the quasi -concoctions - "an interactive grouping network" which members all have in common their strings to control by the Maine state government.
